Top 50 is certainly possible and good luck! I achieved it out of VCE and LYS in W3.

My objective this round is...bases in 150k airports in the EU. Top 50 spot I hope. Not bad considering i'm going for small airports. :lol:

Post by: zkvac on August 03, 2008, 02:23:42 am: Making an airline in Australasia with a realistic fleet (No Russians or anything) and flying to most of the bigger airports in Australasia. Maybe starting some long-haul after I get established.

Post by: XeniaAirways on August 03, 2008, 11:56:06 pm: Hub in a smaller airport (say, ~25M pax) so that there'll be a decent pax base but less competition.

After what I've seen in world 9, I've learned a few lessons:
1. Grab a gate at the big airports early on... or don't plan on flying there. Ever.
2. I like to start off with the cheapest aircraft in the game that will work for my needs and order as many as I can, whenever I can just to get routes out... I don't know if it's a good strategy but it worked for me in World 9. (although I started 2 years into the game)
3. Join an alliance with global coverage preferrably, but definitely with bases on your home continent.
4. Use brokers when you can -- if you stay loyal to a specific broker you might get better rates.

I'll be serving the eastern United States for around half a year before moving west.

Post by: yourefired on August 04, 2008, 02:02:04 am: Smaller airports in Europe. Moved out of Heathrow altogether and now I'm in Nice-Côte d'Azur(NCE). Secondary hubs are probably going to be Marseille/Toulouse (or Lyon), smallish operation also in Geneva. Fleet will consist entirely of Embraer aircraft, though I will add A320s and A321s as necessary.

I say this but I'll probably end up using the CRJ-700 too. Something like CRJ-700, ERJ145 series, and A321.

Title: Re: [W10] Your Strategy
Post by: Virgin Serbia on August 28, 2008, 09:42:22 pm: 1. Lower costs by building a fleet of at least 100 ATRs instead of 100 CRJs (im only 40 planes from the target! :o)

2. Utilise my gates as much as possible, by flying to them from 3 hubs. This allows each gate to earn profits from 3 flights, instead of a single.

3. Eventually, a fleet consisting of only ATR-42-500, ATR-72-200 and 737-700HGW. That means i need to retire the 737-300s and 737-500s...

Be the largest airline in South Africa

Technically speaking, I have allready acheived this. The only airlines ahead of me have bases either in other continents or in north africa (easy access to europe, which is route spam) which make up 90% of their value. That was surprisingly easy...
